After some much-needed “therapy” this weekend, my shop needed some serious cleaning. As I was bending over picking up small cutoffs, nails, and screws that were just too heavy for the Shop Vac, I thought there had to be a better way. Later, when doing research for a post, I stumbled across a “lobby” dust pan — and a little light went off in my head.
If you haven’t got your summer hydration plan in place yet, take a look at this deal. Wal-Mart is selling this seven-gallon water/beverage cooler for $30, online only, with free shipping to their stores. Searching for this type of cooler for my own hydration plan, I found lots of options with street pricing much higher than this — on a dollars per gallon basis, this is a steal. I just wish these suckers were rated on some kind of insulation scale.
If smaller is better, you can get a five-gallon cooler on Amazon for $22.

We’re always lugging our Rubbermaid Brute trash bin around the shop to get it out of the way of a project — or to carry it out to the big bin to empty it. But since we ran across this at Lowe’s, we lug no more. Now we roll, baby.
Sure, it’s a little over priced at $30, but if you move your ‘can around often, it’s a total lifesaver. And why build one when you can have one that fits (a number of different sized Brute ‘cans) perfectly and does the job? And come on: How often to you really buy trash cans anyway?
Note: Normally we like to avoid linking directly to a single seller, but in this case Froogle turned up a bunch of prices that were dramatically higher than Lowe’s, so this time we’re just going to link to them. If you’d like to pick it up elsewhere, just drop it into Froogle for dozens of other retailers.
